We hope Hugh will be sailing back to you again soon. Irene Meeks had quite a surprise Friday afternoon when the postman not- only gave her six letters from hus band Frank in Australia, but roses for her birthday. We understand now where she gets all those roses she wears in her hair every day. Thelma and Shirley told Edmonia she surely was sorry she had become a social outcast. I guess that accounts for that downcast expression you were wearing Sunday. “Perk” up, kid; we’ll make up for everything. Mrs. Minnie Berrier of the setting department has recently returned from Portsmouth, Va., after visiting her husband, Harold “Snip” Berrier, who is with the U. S. Navy. Rumley-Salmons.

V . . . — Woolen Mill By Wanda Thomas Yep, here I am again, just barely pulling through this heat. Aren’t you hot too. I thought so. Those of us who haven’t been on our vacations look like withered fiowers and feel like it. Annie is back so the office has re sumed its full time in laughs. Lillie Lemons was happy to hear that her brother. Staff. Sgt. Warner Gatewood, has ^ returned from over seas.

Rachel F. tells us she is getting her self a husband in a few days. Here’s wishing you loads of happiness. “Kingfish” Pender has returned from his vacation. While gone he visited his son in camp.

Hurry back, we miss you. Oh, by the way, your assistant says your job is O.K., but she likes it much better when you are here.

Jabber Central Warehouse Office By Glennice Jones Ho hum! What a waste of energy that was.
